MTPE (machine translation w/ post-edit) is just another tool of people who think this way. They don't know and have no way of knowing if their TL is accurate. They stubbornly insist generative algorithms produce reliable work that just needs a little spitshine, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Generative algorithms don't understand language. They see text and generate corresponding text based on a dataset we don't know. They have no memory, no grasp of context, no database of names/terms for basic consistency. Their "reasoning" is a black box. You can't understand a black box's choices.

But even that point is just beating a dead horse. The real problem is that this slop is being pushed out for a game that has no prior translation, so this will be the version that any interested people play and draw their impressions from. Being first makes it WORSE, for reasons outlined below.
